WTF is with military certificates appearing while googling?

[UlricT]

I was just googling for info on a movie named 12b, and I typed in 21b by accident. There were some .mil sites on the search which I DID NOT CLICK. Firefox gives me this popup asking whether I want to accept this certificate. Is this some tracking ******?

This happened to me randomly about 3 months ago when I was browsing as well.

Der FBI is own yer tracks ya.

Hahaha, I thought you meant awards.

I'd accept. They know where you live anyway.

That's the new draft form. Accept the cert and pack your bags.

can someone try googling 21b and see whether it happens to you? It came up again. 😕

It's just firefox telling you that cool.army.mil does not have a valid site certificate.

I went to the offending link and my IE gave me a similar result.

OK but the wierd thing was I got this on a google search. I did not actually go to any .mil site

It's nothing to worry about.

It's a setting in your firefox that automatically tells you if there is an unsafe link on the page you are on. You might be able to change it.

This is true. It went to the army site because 21B is a popular MOS--Combat Engineer

it's like internet explorer or a firewall program, if something is unsafe it will try to notify you unless you automatically adjust your settings to ignore or auto accept, etc wutever

keep your a-spyware programs running though, you can't trust IE6 anymore or firefox or whatever browsers exist anymore

I got like 4-5 anti-spyware programs running, and I swear... all of them find something different or similar, but there's just one program you can't always seem to rely on..
